- topic: alpha mask proposal
- 22:25:26 [heycam]
- http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/Alpha_mask
- 22:25:57 [cabanier]
- cm: mask are currently unintuive since they use luminance
- 22:26:16 [cabanier]
- cm: it is quite confusing
- 22:26:31 [cabanier]
- cm: we opened an issue where you can use the alpha values
- 22:26:52 [cabanier]
- cm: I opened a small proposal where you can specify luminance or alpha
- 22:27:50 [cabanier]
- cm: there were a proposal where you could combine the 2 by having a seperate property for each mask type
- 22:28:05 [cabanier]
- rc: are alpha values currently ignored?
- 22:28:21 [cabanier]
- cm: no they contribute to the luminance.
- 22:28:30 [cabanier]
- rc: this is similar to what PDF
- 22:28:50 [cabanier]
- rc: except noone uses the alpha version
- 22:30:18 [stakagi]
- stakagi has joined #svg
- 22:30:40 [cabanier]
- bb: there seems to be some confusion in the spec about what mask apply to
- 22:32:00 [cabanier]
- it seems pretty unlikely for a given mask mask element that it can be use for both luminance and alpha
- 22:32:24 [cabanier]
- rc: why is that?
- 22:33:18 [cabanier]
- cm: it's unlikely that you use the same element but then use it with alpha in one place and luminance in the other
- 22:33:22 [birtles]
- (re the confusion in the spec, specifically http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/masking.html#MaskProperty says the mask property can refer to "another graphical object", not just a <mask>. That restriction appears earlier in the prose.)
- 22:34:52 [ed]
- another way could be mask: <funciri> | none | alpha(<funciri>) | luminance(<funciri>)
- 22:35:24 [ed]
- replace those <funciri> in the last two with <iri> I guess though
- 22:36:24 [ed]
- that would make it rather easy to do fallbacks because old useragents would fail parsing the css
- 22:37:53 [cabanier]
- bb: it would be nice if you wouldn't have to create id's
- 22:38:16 [cabanier]
- cm: not everyone puts masks in the defs
- 22:38:32 [cabanier]
- cm: that does seem handy
- 22:38:52 [cabanier]
- bb: very often you have to write a unique id generator to create the id's
- 22:39:03 [cabanier]
- cm: maybe we can raise an issue
- 22:39:29 [cabanier]
- ed: people have asked for this for gradients
- 22:40:04 [heycam]
- ISSUE: Consider allowing <mask>, <clipPath>, etc. as direct children of elements they'd apply to, to avoid IDs
- 22:40:05 [trackbot]
- Created ISSUE-2431 - Consider allowing <mask>, <clipPath>, etc. as direct children of elements they'd apply to, to avoid IDs ; please complete additional details at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2431/edit .
- 22:40:49 [cabanier]
- bb: this does impace how it impacts alpha and luminance
- 22:42:37 [cabanier]
- cm: you can have new keywords for mask: 'mask: child' and then if there is a mask element child that that is using it as a child.
- 22:43:41 [cabanier]
- ed: having a keyword like that because we don't always traverse into an element. this keyword would tell us to examine the element.
- 22:46:05 [cabanier]
- ed: I have no problems with the functionality itself
- 22:46:13 [cabanier]
- ed: I think that's what we want
- 22:48:01 [cabanier]
- cm: bb do you want to investigate this further?
- 22:48:20 [cabanier]
- bb: yes, I would like to look into this further to make sure there are no issues
- 22:49:29 [cabanier]
- action birtles to investigate issue 2431

- Topic: SVG in HTML <head>
- 23:58:25 [cyril]
- cyril has joined #svg
- 23:58:32 [ed]
- previous discussion of this: http://www.w3.org/2012/01/05-svg-minutes.html#item04
- 00:00:12 [heycam]
- DS: there's strong resistance from browser vendors to add elements to the HTML <head>
- 00:00:20 [heycam]
- … because it breaks backwards compat, and requires changes to the parser
- 00:00:27 [heycam]
- … the parser is pretty much set in stone at this point
- 00:00:56 [heycam]
- CL: I don't think we need to put things in head
- 00:01:03 [heycam]
- … our <defs> is like a <div> with display:none
- 00:01:07 [heycam]
- … so you can stick whatever you want there
- 00:01:11 [heycam]
- … there's no need to put it in the <head>
- 00:01:32 [heycam]
- … the only thing we do have that maybe belongs in the head is the <meta> element, though our <metadata> is structured
- 00:01:37 [heycam]
- … in SVG you can nest elements in <metadata>
- 00:01:42 [heycam]
- … so it really doesn't belong in <head> either
- 00:01:58 [heycam]
- DS: I do think it's not unreasonable for people to think they should add things to the head
- 00:02:03 [heycam]
- CL: at first sight it's very reasonable
- 00:02:26 [heycam]
- DS: I think our best course of action is not to follow up on hixie's recommendation to define our elements as metadata content
- 00:02:32 [heycam]
- … rather to simply to educate people that you can't do that
- 00:03:01 [heycam]
- … I think it's very unusual that hixie would recommend this course of action
- 00:03:47 [heycam]
- … I will respond to the original commenter
- 00:04:41 [heycam]
- RESOLUTION: SVG will not allow elements to be put in HTML <head>
- 00:05:33 [heycam]
- Topic: shorthand properties as presentation attributes
- 00:05:45 [ed]
- http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/Shorthand_presentation_attribute
- 00:06:19 [birtles]
- ScribeNick: birtles
- 00:08:22 [birtles]
- CL: CM's proposal on the wiki where you put the shorthands before all the properties in doc order satisifies my earlier concerns
- 00:08:36 [birtles]
- CM: proposal is to allow pres attr for properties which are shorthands
- 00:08:51 [birtles]
- ... at the moment you can't write marker="" b/c marker is a shorthand
- 00:09:03 [birtles]
- ... creates confusion for authors
- 00:09:20 [birtles]
- ... don't understand why they need to use marker-start etc. if they're using pres attr
- 00:09:26 [birtles]
- ... with style you can just use "marker"
- 00:09:46 [birtles]
- ... last time this issue came up was in context of when CSS properties get split and orig becomes a shorthand
- 00:09:53 [birtles]
- ... e.g. overflow becoming overflow-x and overflow-y
- 00:09:59 [birtles]
- ... overflow is now a shorthand
- 00:10:08 [birtles]
- CL: likewise whitespace might go that way
- 00:10:23 [birtles]
- CM: we want to allow overflow to continue to be a pres attr
- 00:10:29 [birtles]
- ... even if it becomes a shorthand
- 00:10:49 [birtles]
- ... original reluctance was you have multiple attr targetting the same property
- 00:11:53 [birtles]
- ... and override behaviour was not clear since attr are unordered
- 00:12:03 [birtles]
- ... unlike styles where you have doc order
- 00:12:20 [birtles]
- ... but the proposal addresses that by taking shorthands first
- 00:12:52 [birtles]
- ED: so you if have marker-mid before marker (as attributes) then marker will override marker
- 00:13:02 [birtles]
- ED: so you if have marker-mid before marker (as attributes) then marker will override marker-mid
- 00:13:43 [cabanier_]
- cabanier_ has joined #svg
- 00:14:17 [birtles]
- CL: it's something we're going to have to address with properties being split up and becoming shorthands
- 00:16:38 [birtles]
- CL: any comments from implementors?
- 00:16:49 [birtles]
- ED: it's probably fine but I need to check the code
- 00:17:22 [birtles]
- ... it would be pretty simple to verify if there were some test cases
- 00:18:59 [birtles]
- CM: I think it should be ok
- 00:21:28 [birtles]
- ... is there a difference between animating the style or the presentation attribute
- 00:21:45 [birtles]
- CL: attributeType is just for disambiguation when the attribute name and property name overlap and are not the same thing
- 00:21:56 [birtles]
- ... not to provide different behaviour
- 00:25:59 [birtles]
- RESOLUTION: We will allow shorthand properties to be used as presentation attributes (ISSUE-2430) according to Cameron's proposal
- 00:27:06 [birtles]
- ACTION: Cameron to describe using shorthand properties as presentation attributes in spec
- 00:27:06 [trackbot]
- Created ACTION-3207 - Describe using shorthand properties as presentation attributes in spec [on Cameron McCormack - due 2012-01-20].
- 00:27:23 [birtles]
- ED: is there an order normally to style
- 00:27:24 [heycam]
- ACTION-3207: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/Shorthand_presentation_attribute
- 00:27:24 [trackbot]
- ACTION-3207 Describe using shorthand properties as presentation attributes in spec notes added
- 00:27:38 [birtles]
- CL: yes, if it's in a stylesheet (incl style attr)
- 00:27:54 [birtles]
- ED: if you start modifying the element by script, then the order is not guaranteed
- 00:28:05 [birtles]
- CL: the assertion was attributes are unordered
- 00:28:19 [vhardy]
- vhardy has joined #svg
- 00:28:22 [birtles]
- CM: the stylesheet is not exposed to script though right?
- 00:28:33 [birtles]
- ... you can getComputedStyle but there's no order requirement there
- 00:28:45 [birtles]
- ED: if it's just for when it's parsed then it's ok
- 00:29:12 [birtles]
- CM: even if you're modifying the attr then you still need the shorthand first
- 00:29:37 [birtles]
- ... if you're actually creating stylesheets you could create two (one for shorthands)
- 00:29:42 [birtles]
- ... might be simpler than managing the order
- 00:31:42 [birtles]
- ED: what about font? you have to use CSS rules such as requiring units
- 00:31:46 [birtles]
- ... isn't that confusing?
- 00:31:53 [birtles]
- ... for all shorthands you have to use units
- 00:31:59 [birtles]
- ... whereas elsewhere you don't
- 00:32:08 [birtles]
- CL: it's only really for lengths where we have this different
- 00:32:15 [birtles]
- ... where you don't need units in SVG
- 00:32:20 [birtles]
- ... marker etc. are ok
- 00:32:26 [birtles]
- ... it's only really 'font'
- 00:33:03 [birtles]
- ... so it would be a rule that shorthands have to use CSS rules which includes using units (and excluding scientific notation)
- 00:33:12 [birtles]
- CM: what if we came up with our own shorthand
- 00:33:25 [birtles]
- ... that wasn't ambiguous
- 00:33:31 [birtles]
- CL: that would be confusing to use a different notation
- 00:33:56 [birtles]
- ... and might outweigh the benefit of using shorthands
- 00:34:17 [birtles]
- ... because you'd add syntax to disambiguate
- 00:34:41 [birtles]
- CM: so we'll just require CSS parsing for shorthand presentation attributes
- 00:34:49 [birtles]
- ED: I think that would be ok, better than adding quirks
- 00:35:03 [birtles]
- CM: what about new CSS properties?
- 00:35:18 [birtles]
- ... we have font-size in SVG so we can explicitly allow unitless lengths
- 00:35:46 [birtles]
- CM: do we want to revisit scientific notation in SVG 2?
- 00:35:57 [birtles]
- ... because perhaps it's not used?
- 00:36:24 [birtles]
- CM: many scripts default to using exponential notation
- 00:36:32 [birtles]
- s/CM: do we/CL: do we/
- 00:36:51 [birtles]
- CL: we were originally expecting much more use of the world coord system with very large numbers
- 00:37:00 [birtles]
- ... but in practice you actually run into precision problems
- 00:37:43 [birtles]
- Topic: SVG2 Requirements
- 00:38:46 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL has joined #svg
- 00:39:29 [birtles]
- Up to: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG2_Requirements_Input#Improve_to-animations
- 00:40:45 [cyril]
- we should also deal with http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG2_Requirements_Input#SMIL_time_containers
- 00:41:31 [birtles]
- deciding on time containers depends on me finishing action-3202
- 00:43:56 [birtles]
- BB: not sure what this means
- 00:44:22 [birtles]
- CM: I guess it's about addressing differences
- 00:44:27 [birtles]
- BB: what are the differences?
- 00:44:34 [birtles]
- CM: underlying value is fixed, reversing
- 00:45:05 [birtles]
- BB: my guess is reversing?
- 00:45:14 [birtles]
- VH: we should find out what is specificallly required here
- 00:46:21 [birtles]
- ACTION: Cameron to contact Dr. Olaf Hoffmann to ask what is specifically required to make to-animation similar to CSS transitions
- 00:46:22 [trackbot]

- 00:52:41 [birtles]
- ED: even though text-anchor-end animation is discrete it would be possible to provide linear interpolation
- 00:52:55 [birtles]
- CM: it is a bit of a violation of the model and the idea of "discrete"
- 00:53:18 [ChrisL]
- I think that breaks the modelof animation. at all points in the animation, the value of the animated property has to be one of the actual values
- 00:53:52 [birtles]
- VH: there's a difference between calcMode="discrete" and calcMode="linear" that falls back to discrete
- 00:54:28 [birtles]
- CM: if we wanted it to work for text-anchor we could allow it to take numeric values
- 00:54:33 [ChrisL]
- we could imaging a mapping with for example-100% as start, 0 as middle,100% as end
- 00:54:36 [birtles]
- ... e.g. -100 to 100
- 00:55:11 [birtles]
- CL: we could spec it fairly easily
- 00:55:50 [birtles]
- ... I think it's ok if we're just talking about calcMode="linear" that falls back
- 00:55:56 [birtles]
- ... as opposed to calcMode="discrete"
- 00:56:08 [birtles]
- CM: but I often rely on that fallback behaviour
- 00:56:16 [birtles]
- ... and don't specify calcMode="discrete"
- 00:56:42 [birtles]
- CL: if we did this change and people are relying on the discrete behaviour they might get a surprise
- 00:57:23 [ChrisL]
- butthey could fix it by adding calcmode discrete to keep the old behaviour
- 00:59:12 [birtles]
- BB: so you have to modify the definition of those attributes to allow numeric values
- 01:00:26 [birtles]
- CL: the approach is to make attributes that take discrete values to be shorthand for those that take numeric values
- 01:00:55 [birtles]
- CM: in font-weight, some of the keywords are synonyms for numbers
- 01:01:04 [birtles]
- CL: but it's an ordered series
- 01:01:35 [birtles]
- CM: what happens when you getComputedStyle---which do you get? the keyword or the number?
- 01:02:17 [birtles]
- ... likewise what will happen here if we use getComputedStyle on the new text-anchor etc. that takes numeric values
- 01:02:38 [birtles]
- CL: I'm proposing promoting some values so that can take *continuous* values
- 01:02:47 [birtles]
- ... so font-weight would not be an example
- 01:07:44 [birtles]
- RESOLUTION: SVG2 will allow linear interpolation for properties which were previously discrete
- 01:08:21 [birtles]
- ACTION: Chris to write up a proposal for allowing linear interpolation of properties that were previously discrete but could be reasonably interpolated linearly
- 01:08:22 [trackbot]
- Created ACTION-3209 - Write up a proposal for allowing linear interpolation of properties that were previously discrete but could be reasonably interpolated linearly [on Chris Lilley - due 2012-01-20].

- next, animateTransform with matrix-decomposed like CSS
- 01:10:46 [ed]
- http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG2_Requirements_Input#animateTransform_with_matrix-decomposed_like_CSS
- 01:11:13 [birtles]
- CM: diff between animateTransform and CSS Animations with transform property, is CSS considers the whole transform list, but SVG Animations does one transform at a time and post-multiplies
- 01:11:29 [birtles]
- ... request is to add a new type to animateTransform that matches CSS Animations
- 01:11:58 [birtles]
- ... but we could just <animate> to get that behaviour
- 01:12:26 [birtles]
- ... <animate attributeName="transform" values="scale(...) rotate(...); scale(...) rotate(...)"/>
- 01:12:29 [birtles]
- ... it overrides the whole list
- 01:13:31 [birtles]
- ... need to define how additive works with whole lists of items
- 01:17:01 [birtles]
- VH: so how does animateTransform add to the end of the list?
- 01:17:11 [birtles]
- BB: it differs between browsers
- 01:17:49 [birtles]
- ... if you inspect the animVal in the DOM some browsers will just append a matrix transform, some will try to preseve the animateTransform's type, others just replace the whole list with a matrix
- 01:19:21 [birtles]
- VH: even if we deal with lists we already have a model for adding that to the underlying transform, it doesn't change the model
- 01:19:37 [birtles]
- CC: it doesn't change the post-multiplication
- 01:20:20 [birtles]
- ... it doesn't change the final value
- 01:20:25 [birtles]
- ... but it does change the animVal
- 01:20:51 [birtles]
- VH: but given the way the requirement is worded I think it wouldn't change
- 01:22:51 [birtles]
- VH: we want to allow <animate attributeName="transform">
- 01:22:54 [birtles]
- CM: I agree
- 01:23:28 [birtles]
- RESOLUTION: We will support animation using a transform-list

- http://brian.sol1.net/svg/animatetransform-issues/accumulation-of-transformations/
- 01:29:19 [birtles]
- BB: Addition of transforms is a bit unusual (see above link)
- 01:29:44 [birtles]
- ... we can rely on CSS Transform's behviour for interpolation but we need to specify how addition works for transform lists
- 01:30:24 [birtles]
- CM: this difference is specific to animateTransform
- 01:30:38 [birtles]
- ... so if we go to using animate, do we want to just use the default behaviour?
- 01:31:03 [birtles]

- birtles: doc gets longer as we edit
- 03:00:30 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: earlier ones were more vague and we took a lot of time to understand the comments. later ones are specced features from 1.2T so its either in or out
- 03:02:58 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: next, whatdo we have in fpwd - lots or a little (ipp implications)
- 03:05:50 [heycam]
- CM: the other question is whether we go forward with this grand refactoring of the document that we talked about before
- 03:06:19 [cabanier]
- cabanier has joined #svg
- 03:06:57 [heycam]
- … I think it would be better to not do that upfront
- 03:07:17 [heycam]
- … instead we just add the features/changes according to the existing structure
- 03:07:24 [heycam]
- … so we can get drafts published with them
- 03:07:41 [heycam]
- … rather than having the first couple of working drafts just consist of reorganisation of existing text, with no other changes
- 03:08:57 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: would prioritise documenting new features over refactoringexisting ones
- 03:11:16 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: patent exclusions are at fpwd and last call, and are per-feature
- 03:11:37 [ChrisL]
- ... so its better to at least list a feature even if the spec is incomplete or the syntax not stable
- 03:12:17 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: want to see tests early
- 03:12:32 [ChrisL]
- heycam: so when new feature is added, add tests as well

- 03:31:02 [ChrisL]
- heycam: as we go through the list we can allocate owners
- 03:31:32 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: we need to triage the requirements to prioritise the most important ones

- heycam: we did not do that, so we accepted a lot of requirements some of which might not be for 2.0
- 03:32:12 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: need priority on all the accepted requirements
- 03:33:10 [ChrisL]

- ChrisL: goot time for lc would be after tpac so (with holidays) jan would be good, finished by May/June and CR in August depending on need for a second LC
- 03:42:16 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: for selecting requirements we could update - things thatare broken, graphical features
- 03:43:10 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: for 2.1 2.2 etc we could put the theme that adds value for each iteration, nt too ambitious each time
- 03:44:44 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: first priority could be graphical features, with animation and dom refactoring left for a dot release
- 03:45:06 [ChrisL]
- heycam: seem to have a range of killer things that do not fit those themes
- 03:45:29 [ChrisL]
- cyril: this discussion is easier when we have a prioritised list
- 03:45:42 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: main point is to limit the scope to what is acheivable

- 03:49:47 [ChrisL]
- s/Get/get/
- 03:50:08 [ChrisL]
- heycam: this is getting the bbox in a different elements coordinate system
- 03:50:14 [ChrisL]
- ... often want to do this
- 03:51:24 [ChrisL]
- ... proposal is to add getBBoxOf that you call in the element whith the desired coord system and you apss the element you want the bbox of
- 03:51:38 [ChrisL]
- ... need not be a descendent
- 03:52:11 [ChrisL]
- cyril: bbox is always axis aligned?
- 03:52:15 [ChrisL]

- vhardy: (draws on whiteboard)
- 03:54:53 [ChrisL]
- ed: agrees with vhardy, you want four points for a non axis aligned bbox
- 03:55:05 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: want the points, or an option to get the points
- 03:55:24 [ChrisL]
- cyril: last step is trivial, min maxso return the points
- 03:56:10 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: getBBoxCorners ?
- 03:56:24 [ChrisL]
- birtles: what will people do more often?
- 03:56:39 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: adding handles is common so the points would be better there
- 03:57:14 [ChrisL]
- cabanier: illustrator gives the full bbox
- 03:57:37 [ChrisL]
- heycam: we don't want to multiply the number of methods unecessarily
- 03:57:56 [ChrisL]
- cabanier: if you miter corners and transform, miter will go further
- 03:58:42 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: recall that we also wanted to have an inked bbox that includes stroke and markers
- 03:59:17 [ChrisL]
- ... so for this one which is geometric, stroke mitering does notaffect it
- 04:00:29 [fat_tony]
- fat_tony has left #svg
- 04:02:08 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: bbox is d=for dirty areas, editing
- 04:02:14 [ChrisL]
- birtles: hit testing
- 04:02:31 [cyril]
- s/d=//
- 04:03:43 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: for painted bbox we would need the analog of this (get painted bbox in another coord system)
- 04:04:08 [ChrisL]
- cabanier: if transformed, miters would become sharper
- 04:04:18 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: we do pre-transform stroking
- 04:04:39 [ChrisL]
- ... illustrator gives you both
- 04:05:14 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: non scaling stroke strokes the transformedgeometry
- 04:05:41 [ChrisL]
- heycam: so maybe instead give a much easier way to get quads and then transform them to another coordsys
- 04:05:51 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: like the quad idea
- 04:06:13 [ChrisL]
- getBoundingQuad and then transform and getBBox on that
- 04:06:47 [ChrisL]

- 04:09:43 [birtles]
- http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG2_Requirements_Input#Auto-sized_image
- 04:11:12 [ChrisL]
- cyril: is it auto size or auto scale
- 04:11:51 [ChrisL]
- heycam: (rapidly corrects proposal)
- 04:12:15 [ChrisL]
- heycam: its the same rules css uses for intrinsic aspect ratio
- 04:13:04 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: the initiial viewport is there is there is no bbox
- 04:13:46 [ChrisL]
- ... defaults to 100% 100% and the width is known
- 04:14:00 [ChrisL]
- heycam: so you dont use any 150 300 ratio
- 04:14:36 [ChrisL]
- cyril: like the idea to not give w & h if you don't want
- 04:14:47 [ChrisL]
- ... do no t want to break backwards compat
- 04:15:06 [vhardy]
- vhardy: at the end of the day, we need to align with the CSS 2.1 behavior.
- 04:15:37 [ChrisL]
- heycam: prefer 1 over 2 but itdoes change existing meaning
- 04:15:44 [ChrisL]
- ... second one doesn't
- 04:16:27 [ChrisL]
- heycam: in old viewers, missing attrs gives zero so no display - do that all the time
- 04:17:12 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: if you have w h and viewbox there is enough to work out the aspect ratio
- 04:18:33 [ChrisL]
- ChrisL: people depend on missed attrs going to zero, so I prefer the second option
- 04:20:17 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: common case of images with same width and variable height
- 04:20:26 [ChrisL]
- cyril: so that leads to proposal 2
- 04:23:58 [ChrisL]
- cyril: how aboutsizing="intrinsic"
- 04:24:45 [ChrisL]
- ed: seen lots of js driven stuff that fills out w and h later and it does not render if zero
- 04:24:54 [ChrisL]
- cyril: used for image preload
- 04:25:08 [ChrisL]
- birtles: is the preload specced?
- 04:25:40 [ChrisL]
- (we think not)
- 04:25:50 [ed]
- s/seen lots of js driven stuff that fills out w and h later and it does not render if zero/i've seen some (rather complex) js driven frameworks that fill out w and h later and it does not want it to render if zero/
- 04:26:10 [ChrisL]
- vhardy: to display an unknown image you load by script just to calculate the w and h
- 04:26:31 [ChrisL]
- 1 - two
- 04:26:43 [ChrisL]
- 2 - four
- 04:26:56 [ChrisL]
- ppl voting 1 can live with 2
- 04:28:09 [ChrisL]
- resolution: image resizing will use option 2 with sizing="intrinsic" as an attr not a property

- ag: the wording was changed, for example, on enable-background, to be generic and talk about 'host language' and use SVG as 'an example host language'. The document in dev is doing that migration.

- rc: do you remember why did you add Porter Duff.
- 05:21:58 [vhardy]
- ag: filters were not enough because when you use the compositing operators in filters, they include the background twice and so you get an incorrect result. This is why we added the PD operators in the spec.
- 05:22:44 [vhardy]
- cyril: I have dug up in previous documents/proposals, one of the reasons was that filters require a filter region, but for PD, you can do it while rasterizing and you do not need a region.
- 05:22:58 [vhardy]
- ... I'll send a link to a document created by Craig Brown.
- 05:23:50 [vhardy]
- ... if you have a set of elements that are composited with the painter's algorithm, and you want to make one compositing change on one element, you would have to completely modify the DOM (if using filters).
- 05:23:57 [vhardy]
- rc: I would like to see an example to understand.

- 05:27:00 [cyril]
- Note that
- 05:27:02 [cyril]
- using feBackground has the effect of the background being used twice – once
- 05:27:03 [cyril]
- as an input in the filter – and a second time as the result being drawn onto….
- 05:27:05 [cyril]
- If the background is not initially opaque this causes strange effects.
- 05:28:06 [vhardy]
- rc: I have proposed to separate the spec. in two. For PD, you never need the background.
- 05:34:45 [vhardy]
- rc: explains the way PD happens within a group and does not effect anything outside the group.

- No matter what the compositing operator is on r3, it only composites with the content of <g> at the time it is rendered. In this example, only with r2. There is no compositing done with r1 when rendering r3.

- Discussion on enable-background and compositing, looking at the examples in section 8 of http://www.svgopen.org/2005/papers/abstractsvgopen/.
- 06:07:13 [vhardy]
- There is agreement that compositing is done between a src and dst and that following the painter's algorithm, the default dst would be the content of the parent group at the time an element is rendered (i.e., the rendering of the element's previous siblings in the parent group). There might be use cases for compositing with the a destination that contains the rendering of the parent group's siblings. In the preceding example, it means that r3 would
- 06:07:13 [vhardy]
- composite with either the content of its parent group (r2 only) or, in a different mode, with the content of r1 and what is already in it's parent group (r2).
- 06:08:06 [vhardy]
- ag: the reason for the naming of new/accumulate is that it describes the initialization of the group buffer used with compositing.
- 06:11:00 [vhardy]
- ACTION: cyril to work with Rik and discuss with Alex to resolve whether, for the purpose of compositing only, we need a control to select the destination used for the compositing operation.

- g is is enable-background: accumulate
- 06:29:23 [vhardy]
- Agreement that in both compositing and blending, the behavior and controls for enable-background are the same. In both cases, the need is to control how the 'group' buffer is initialized before it is used as an input in the blending or compositing operation.
